SUSTAINABILITY

Our farms help provide the nutritious food our families need to grow up healthy— and last year this was needed more than ever. In 2020, when many other suppliers could not get to our villages due to government-imposed lockdowns and restrictions, we were grateful that our farms were able to continue supplying fresh vegetables, fruit and eggs for our children and mothers, as well as goats milk for Baby Watoto. On our poultry farm we had a phenomenal increase in the production of eggs, allowing us to provide each of our families with all the delicious eggs they needed. This was largely thanks to the efforts of our new poultry farm manager, John Bosco—one of our amazing Watoto graduates you might remember from last year’s report. He changed the way operations were run, along with the care of our birds, resulting in a 90% increase in egg production. We also bought new goats on our goat farm to ensure our babies had the milk necessary for them to thrive. And along with new goats, we proudly welcomed a new vet, Dr. George Muhanguzi—another one of our incredible Watoto graduates. We praise God that we’re not only able to provide food for our families, but also able to provide technical training for some of our young adults and jobs for our graduates. Thank you for helping us create a bright, sustainable future for our children.
